Waterfront vacation rentals in Island of Ortigia

Casa Flora was very convenient for all the restaurants and attractions on Ortigia. The apartment was clean and comfortable with some stylish touches. Chiara and Gabriele were very responsive to a couple of requests.

Very good apartment perfectly located close to everything (Ortigia 10mn walk, restaurant, convenience store and a great glacier). Parking is a real plus. Veronica is extremely responsive and available. We had a great time in Avignon.

Salvatore's flat is gorgeous! The views from both balconies looks right onto the Fountain of Arethusa where everyone comes for photos and sunset. It's an extremely busy area but with the windows shut at night I could manage sleep by midnight. Worth it. Everything in Otogio is a short walk. The flat has everything you need, the bed was comfortable and Salvatore was a great host, giving great restaurant recommendations. note: if arriving at the Siracusa bus station, recommend taking the small red SAIS bus #106 to Archemides piazza and walking from there to the apartment.

We can't say enough good things about Stefano's place! It is in a completely walkable area -- both to Ortigia as well as the Archaeological Park, and of course, many restaurants and shops. The apartment is lovely and spacious and spotless -- right by the ocean with high ceilings and a very comfortable bed. Stefano is very responsive and a great host. He even left us a bottle of wine (and water and coffee)! Absolutely perfect stay in a terrific city. Many thanks, Stefano!!

Giuseppe and his son was very friendly and helpful. They are indeed great hosts! They gave as instructions for the public transport and even prepared everything for the coffee and breakfast! Apartment is clean and very beautiful with the sense of the sea and a song From the birds! We felt really welcomed and we enjoyed our stay! I recommend this host from the heart 💜

We had a great stay in Siracusa. The location is fabulous, and we loved drinking our morning coffee on the rooftop deck. Some of the local stray cats got a little frisky at night — you may want to pack ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Also, be aware that you can't drive to the apartment because of traffic restrictions, but luckily we pack light so it was fine to walk from the nearby parking lot. Would highly recommend!

I felt so relaxed and comfortable here and Emmanuel was a wonderful and attentive host! Would stay here again!

Such a great place in a great city. Easy to walk around and can reach endless options of restaurants within few minutes. Great value for the location and plenty of space for my husband and I. Wonderful experience!

We had a great stay at Valentina's place in Plemmirio. Beautiful surroundings and a very cosy home with a spacious terrace in the sun. Valentina was very responsive and helpful!

Alessandro and Valentina are wonderful hosts. We arrived with our little daughter Paula (1< year) and Alessandro provided us with everything we needed. We felt like at home and Paula slept great. A crib with height-adjustable sides, so you have a family bed, a mei maker, blender, toys, extra blankets for crawling - thank you very much for that! The apartment on the ground floor is located in a fantastic garden, you can see directly to the sea. We felt very comfortable!

Beautiful place that is wonderfully decorated. Excellent location and close to many sites in Siracusa. Really enjoyed it.

This is a great place for a taste of Ortigia — its criss-crossing streets, ruins, cats, an intense sense of history. Giuseppe is a helpful host, and his apartment is a gem. The rooftop deck, in particular, is terrific (note that the washer is up there). The small kitchen is well-equipped, and the apartment is close to the outdoor market for veggies and fresh fish. We cooked dinner several times, although there are also many fine restaurants close by. The only things to keep in mind: the stairs are steep between each level, as other commenters have noted, and this would not be a good rental for anyone with accessibility issues; the approach to the apartment may seem stranger and less inviting than it really is, especially for Americans who are used to everything being orderly and clean. I say embrace everything here that speaks of a different way of being in the world.

Sara’s place was great. Extremely spacious and could not be any closer to the beautiful beach and lido. We went a little before the holiday season started so most restaurants/shops in Fontane Bianche were closed, which is something to be aware of when you book.

We loved our 7 night stay at Carmelos, three of us stayed and we had a room each, double bed, sofa bed and single bed up a steep ladder on a small mezzanine floor. I didn’t need to pull out the sofa bed as it was big enough as it was and very comfy. The kitchen was user friendly . We felt very safe and comfortable. I’m glad we stayed there. Many thanks Carmelos

Great stay for the whole family. Beautiful area and lovely with the amazing market around the corner filled with fresh produce at great prices. Very quick response as we ran out of gas in one kitchen about 20 minutes. Highly recommend👍🥰

We had a lovely stay at Andrea and Elena's. The apartment has character with its very high ceilings and colorful tiles. Its proximity to Ortigia is a great advantage for those who want to visit the island. Elena was great tips, especially for telling us about restaurants and supermarkets. She is very responsive and friendly, which went a long way in making it easier for us to arrive in Syracuse. We recommend it!

We were very happy with the place. Great location, the ceilings were high and the rooms spacious. The fact that the bathroom is quite small did not bother us. At weekends it was sometimes quite noisy. Since it is a corner house, there is quite a lot of noise from the outside. Otherwise, we were able to sleep very well. We were provided with a crib & baby chair and contact with Aurora was also reliable and fast. We have left a parasol at the property and hope it can be used by other guests as well.

Great place and great location! Would stay here again!

We had a very lovely stay, amazing backyard view over the waters. Robin is a very very friendly and helpful host. He gave so many nice recommendations (and hidden gems). He was thinking a lot with us and is very fast responsive. I definitely recommend his stay!

Giovanna and her colleague Nella were super responsive & helpful. Great directions & local recommendations. Elevator up to apartment, good lighting. Two nice bedrooms and two bathrooms plus clothes washing machine & drying rack. Lovely balconies looking over the harbor. Wine and bottled water waiting for us on arrival. Easy walk into Ortigia with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Caffe Apollo or Caffe Viola for breakfast close by. We also did a half day drive down to Noto on a rainy day - well worth the visit! Thank you Giovanna.

Cosy apartment directly at the waterfront, with lots of bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Alberto is a very friendly and responsive host.

Miriam and family were wonderful hosts. They personally escorted us to the apartment on Ortigia Island and made the process a breeze. We really enjoyed Ortigia Island and Miriam's apartment is a perfect place to explore it. Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations.

The place is beautifully set up with some points of interest very attentive and a pleasant stay The house has heating, just when using electricity, you can only use one stove in the kitchen

I stayed at Leandro’s listing during my one day visit to Syracuse and enjoyed my stay as well as Syracuse very much.
